Table of Contents

It's very usual in control panels to give to the customers an url like webmail.domain.tld (domain.tld is the customer domain)

In ispCP you are usually going to: http://admin.host-domain.tld/tools/webmail/

With the following changes, you will be able to connect to your webmail through webmail.domain.tld

You have to make changes to two files:

Change the dns template

The dns template is located at /etc/ispcp/bind/parts/db_e.tpl In this file you have to add the lines: <cli> ; CNAME for webmail webmail IN CNAME www </cli>

Change de 00_master.conf

You have to create a new virtualhost in the default site (00_master.conf) This virtualhost will be the one to handle webmail.domain.tld You only have to add this after the </VirtualHost> tag

<cli> <VirtualHost {BASE_SERVER_IP}:80>

</VirtualHost> </cli>

The expert mode

Another way to do the same instead of editing files by hand is to use the attached diffs in bug number #1364 http://www.isp-control.net/ispcp/ticket/1364
